Thank you for your reviews. It was kind of sad not to see any reviews until chapter 4 but im glad that they are coming. Let's make a deal. The more reviews I get for a chapter, the sooner I will update. How does that sound? Also, If you despise Jared, I suggest you stop reading. Jared wasn't meant to be a villan. And trust me, this friends with benefits between her and Quinn will backfire. Lessons will be learned. I myself don't believe in fwb arrangements working out.

Chapter 5: Beginning to Backfire

Quinn POV

The next day of school, I saw Jared by her locker and I strutted up to her.

"Hey Jared," I said seductively.

"Sup Quinn?" She said while turning away from her locker.

"Oh nothing much. I was just thinking, perhaps you should come over to my place afterschool so we could practice our duet. My parents will be at work and Charlie will be hanging out with one of her photography friends for a while," I said with a smirk on my face.

"Are you hinting at what I think you are?" Jared asked.

"You're smart. You don't need me to tell you that answer." I told her. "So what do you say? Do you want to come over after school?"

"Sure. Give me a ride there afterschool?"

"Of course. Just meet me in the parking lot." I told her before walking away.

Rachel POV

I saw Jared by her locker. Before going to say hi to her, I stopped by my locker and put my books in it. As I closed my locker door I looked over to Jared's locker and Quinn talking to her. She then walked away as I walked over to Jared. Whatever Quinn just told her caused Jared to seem pretty flushed. If only Quinn would act that way towards me. As I continued to think about it, I became a bit jealous. Yet for some reason, I was also jealous that Jared seemed to have a thing for Quinn. Could I possibly have a crush on Jared?

"Hi Jared!" I said, making her jump a bit.

"Oh, hey Rach," she said.

"Why were you just talking to Quinn?" I asked.

"We are duet partners for glee, remember? We were just making plans to practice our duets." She explained. That still didn't explain why Quinn seemed to be flirting with her. Maybe Quinn was just being weird or something. I decided to let it go.

"So I was thinking. The 6 of us should have a sleepover at my place this weekend. You, me, Charlie, Quinn, Brittany and Santana. We could watch movies and such. What do you think? I wanted to ask you before I asked the rest of the girls in case it was a stupid idea."

"I think it sounds like fun, Rach. Maybe we could discuss this at lunch and see what the rest of the girls think."

When it came time for lunch, I couldn't be more excited to share my idea. We all met at the table we had been sitting at since Jared came to McKinley.

"Attention girls," I announced to my friends. "I was wondering if you all would be interested in partaking in a sleepover at my house this weekend."

"I love sleepovers!" Brittany exclaimed. "San! Please say yes! It will be so much fun."

"I'm in if Quinn, Charlie and Jared are in." Santana said. Once she said that, Brittany put her puppy dog face on for the rest of the girls.

"I already told Rach I would come," Jared said while slouching in my seat. I blushed a bit when she called me called me 'Rach'.

"Count me in," Quinn smirked.

"Me too!" Charlie chimed in.

"Then I guess I'm in too," Santana told me right before Brittany pulled her into a hug. All a sudden, I couldn't wait for the weekend to come.

Charlie POV

Afterschool, I went to the local camera shop with Ryder. I met him last year when I helped him pass beginning photography. Now we are friends and I still help him become a better photographer. After buying some new parts, we started to walk to the park to take some pictures together when a guy approached me.

"Aren't you the chick from Motherload?" He asked.

"Yeah." I told him.

"I have been looking for your band everywhere. I saw you play at Breadstix one night and I have been looking for you all since." He said excitedly.

"Yeah, we stopped playing there for a little while because we lost our lead singer. But we just found a new singer who rocks twice as much. Hopefullly we will start getting gigs again." I explained.

"Well you're in luck. I own the bar right across the street and I am looking to hire a band to play live music on Friday nights. Would you be interested in the gig?" He asked.

"That sounds perfect. I would have to talk to the rest of the band before making any decisions." I explained.

"I understand. Here's my card. Just give me a call if you and your band are interested in the gig." He told me as he handed me his business card. We said our goodbyes and I couldn't be more excited.

"I'm really sorry Ryder but do you think we could take pictures another day? I kind of want to go tell the rest of my band." I asked him. He laughed at my excitement and smiled.

"Don't worry Charlie. It's perfectly fine. Go share the news with your band. Marley has been texting me all day asking if I can hang out with her anyways. You know how girls can be."

"Thank you so much, Ryder. You are like the best guy friend ever." I hugged him goodbye and ran off to the Pierce's house. I arrived there in less than 10 minutes and I quickly knocked on the door the moment I arrived at the front porch.

"Hey Charlie! What brings you here?" Brittany asked as she opened the door.

"I'm looking for Jared. I have some great news. Is she here?"

"No, I think she had plans to practice her duet at your house," She told me.

"Really? Okay. Gotta go, Britt. I'll see you tomorrow," I said before dashing off to my house. Luckily my house is pretty close to Brittany's house so I arrived there pretty quickly. I opened the door and heard music playing from Quinn's room. I assumed they must be still trying to find a song for their duet. I ran upstairs and headed right for Quinn's bedroom. The door was left wide open.

"Jared! Guess what!" I said as I entered Quinn's room. Whatever I was going to say after that left my mind after I saw what was happening in Quinn's room. My jaw dropped to the floor at the sight of Jared and Quinn engaging in a heated makeout sesson on Quinn's bed. They broke apart shortly after I walked in the room and Jared pretty much jumped off Quinn's bed.

"Shit! Charlie, I uhh well you see." She began to stutter.

"What the hell is this?" I asked while blocking the doorway so neither of them could escape.

"It's nothing. I can explain." Jared said nervously.

"I'm waiting," I told them.

"We were practicing at Jared's place yesterday and her voice turned me on and it turned into a friends with benefits thing." Quinn explained.

"Wow Jared. I never thought you would be the kind of person to fool around with my sister." I said before turning around and walking to my room.

"Wait Charlie! I'm not that kind of person! Hear me out!" She said while following me into my room. I closed the door behind us and I opened up my window. My window opens up to a rooftop ledge almost like it does in the show "Third Rock From the Sun" I like to sit outside my window when I need some time to myself. I motioned for Jared to join me as I crawled out the window.

"Explain," I told her while crossing my arms.

"It's stupid really. I should have never kissed Quinn back. I honestly believe that she and Rachel belong together and I know that I am stupid for getting in the way."

"Then why continue fooling around with her?" I asked.

"Because I'm an idiot. I don't know, Quinn can be very convincing. I'm really sorry, Charlie. I should have stopped her after the first kiss. No, I should have stopped her from even kissing me. I'm such an idiot. You probably hate me. I wouldn't blame you if you kicked me out of your band."

"Just tell me why you did it?"

"I have no idea," She told me.

"And to think I uhh nevermind." I stopped myself before I said anything stupid.

"What was that?" Jared asked.

"It's nothing." I said.

"Just tell me. I know I fucked up. Give me a piece of your mind."

"I liked you, okay? You come to Mckinley looking like Caitlyn Taylor love from "I'm in the Band" and I developed a silly crush for you. I thought I actually had a chance with you." I said before facepalming myself.

"Wait, you like me?" Jared asked.

"I said 'liked'. As in past tense. I don't tolerate people that fool around. 'Players' aren't my type."

"I like you too, Charlie," She said, obviously not comprehending what I said. "Not only are you pretty but you have this quirky hipster-y personality and I think it's really cute. I had no idea you feel that way about me."

"Felt. Still past tense. You messed up and I don't think I could look at you like I used to."

"I'm really sorry. I was planning on finding a way to get her and Rachel together anyways. Santana saw and she really doesn't condone it. Now I know that I really need to get those two to realize that they are crazy about each other."

"Well Jared, as angry as I still am with you, I would love to help you with your plan. I have known since the moment Quinn first met Rachel that those two were meant to be together."

"Sweet. That's awesome." All a sudden, our conversation stopped and an awkward moment of silence took over. "Hey Charlie," She said breaking the silence, "would you be mad if I kissed you right now?"

"Don't you get it? I'm still mad at you. As much as you wish to try, I will refuse to kiss you unless you end your games with Quinn. And even then, you still have a lot to make up for. I'm not forgiving you that easily." I said before crawling back into my room and walking away.

AN: And that's the start of Jared's stupidity backfiring. What will she do to get Charlie's trust back? And what's going to happen with Rachel and Quinn? Find out soon.
